According to Professor Stephen F. Cohen, McCain seems to be saying that we should join forces with the terrorists in Syria and fight the Russians. Isn't that what McCain has been advocating?

This podcast was broadcast on last night's John Batchelor Show and is good listening.

McCain never got over his gal Hillary losing, she probably promised him Secretary of Defense.

McAmnesty is worse than Putin.
Putin looks out of Russia’s interests unlike McAmnesty, who arms jihadis and aids illegal aliens.

Bingo!

This is a desperate attempt by Globalists to sell a lie in order to appeal to people with a gold fish memory.

Make no mistake the Globalists are enemies of our Republic.

Even your local muslim Brotherhood mosque—and its useful idiots like the Alinsky-based “interfaith” organizations—are MUCH worse than Russia!!!!

Note that Orthodox parishes refuse to join those “interfaith” organizations. We know better!!!!

As for McCain, he always goes overseas and supports miscreants who kill and enslave Orthodox Christians, whether muslim “rebels” in Syria or neo-Nazis in Ukraine. Since he shows no sign of getting his heart right, he should resign from the Senate and retire!!!!

When Americans needed to be evacuated from Yemen, they were advised to go to the Russian embassy, not to ISIS

As long as the Democrats and their fellow traveling Republicans are allowed to falsely portray Russia as the enemy, any contact with them, however harmless, is cause for endless investigations, special counsels, and recusals — because they are “the enemy”. Trump has got to put a stop to this.

Russia isn’t so much an enemy as an evil competitor. They are treacherous, not crazy and insane.

I'm slowly coming around to the realization that President John McCain would have killed more young American servicemen than Barack Hussein 0bama. He has yet to see a war he doesn't like.

Russia is going to act in the interests of Russia. Sometimes this will go against the interests of the USA as Freepers see them; sometimes this will not. The point is that with the fall of communism, Russia is no longer our automatic enemy and is increasingly acting saner than American elites.

To a large degree that’s true, they do have a pretty dark side too. Don’t forget that Stalin forever altered the DNA of Russia during his reign.

I wonder if the timelyness of your article has anything to do with this article, which apparently has been censored. This lady reported it on youtube before deletion.

Good point. I never had any problem with a Russian, at least none that a round or two of vodka couldn't solve.

If only there were thousands of Russian refugees fleeing their homeland that we could welcome to the US.
